From the 81. Louis Glo5s- Democrat.
There is on exhibition it North st.
Louis the greatest LYING curiosity OF the
nineteenth century. 1t is child five
months old, the daughter Of fulI-blooded
Ethiopian, but so peculiarly marked as
TO excite the wonder of all who visit the
place. The feet and ankles of the little
girl are or a dark copper color; the re-
mainder OF the lower limbs are as white
as the skin Of any child born OF white par
ents. Around the upper part OF the abdo-
men Is a peculiaIly-shaped white belt,
while oil the rest of the body, as well az
the face, is of the same color as the feet.
In the centre OF the forehead, and extend
ing little way on the scalp. is white
mark resembling an inverted IL" At
the upper eud OF the al" is a portion OF
tue head covered with hair very much in
texture and color like very fine wool. The
rest OF the head mas for its covering the
ordinary black wool OF the negro. The
child IL perfectly formed, healthy, aad
active, and in It's general features shows
the African blood which courses through
its veins. 1t was born Oct. 8, az Alma,

The parents are each about 30 Years OF
age, black and ignorant. They have for
the last two months Travelled from place
TO place exhibiting their little one to tho
gaze Of the curious, and receiving In re-
turn Whatever the visitors desire 10 give.
MIR. HOllowell, when asked what signif-
canoe was attached to the peculiar marks
on the child, indicated by his reply that
he thought they indicated that the little
one bore the imprints OF the Aimighty'a
hand, and was destined TO have a
wonderful career. He explained them as
follows:
Hwsil, de brown stockin's is dc brass

Some time before the child was born.
Mr.. H0Ilowell said, the parents happened
60 refer ore day 10 the subject OF peculiar
osildrsp, and wondered what they should
do should one he born to them such as they
bad heard about. The mother afterward
dreamed that che had given birth 10 a

which grew up aud was trans ported TO
Heaven and enrolled among the angelic
hosts. The dream made a strong impress

lis An M Wind

That brings with it gusts of rain from
the northeast. When the wind blows
from that quarter on a wet day, the
rheumatic are apt to suffer, even if
sealed by their lain comfortable ingle'
in a cosy arm chair. A few wine glass
fulls of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters-
most genial and comforting of specifics
will afford them unspeakable relief.
There is ample proof on record of its
efficacy in this disease-more particu-
larly if used for its relief at the outset.
Chills and fever, dyspepsia, colstipa-
ton, liver complaint, and a lack OF
tone in the kidneys and bladder, should
also be treated with this useful family
medicine of botanic origin. Appetite
improves, refreshing slumber once

riched and accelerated in consequence
of its invigorating and regulating
action. Use it as a protector after

Gov. Thayer,s Profess.

CHICAGO. Dec. 2O.-An Inter-Ocean
special from Lincoln, Nebraska, SAYS:
Governor Thayer sent the following
communication to-day to MessIs. Pad
dock and Henderson, the Nebraska
members of the United States senate:
DEAR SIRs-As a citizen of the
United States and as republican re-
spectfully but most earnestly protest
against the confirmation of L. @. G.
Lamar as a justice of the supreme
court of the United States. He was
bold and defiant advocate of the dis
solution of the Union in 1860 and '61.
He was at heart and in principle just
as much traitor as JEFF Davis. He
has never recanted his reasonable
sentiments. A man with such record
should never be placed upon the bench
Of the supreme court of the United
Seates by the votes of republican sena-
tors. He is not fit person to inter-
pref the constitution of the United
States. Very truly yours,
JOHN n. THAYER.

RaEulntinG the Petroleum. Output.

TTTUsvILLE, Pa, Dec. 20.-The Her
aid says: This morning there is no
longer any doubt whatever that the
shutdown movement of the petroleum
producers is already and will continue
to be success as contemplated, name
ly, for one year, which begun on No
vember 1st. Several wealthy produc-
ers who held aloof from the scheme
have succumbed to the pressure of pub
lie opinion as we'll as their own inter
ests and agreed to join. Professional
drillers have nearly all been induced
to join and have agreed not to do any
drilling whatever and are to be paid
for remaining idle out of the funds pro-
vided by the producers association.
This will make every person connected
with the production business interest
ed in the success of the shut down. II
is calculated that in consequence of the
| movement as we'll as on account Of
exhaustion of the best white sand terri
tory the total production by the first Of
